Plot

In the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, John Ingram and his wife Rae find themselves marooned on their sailboat, their world reduced to an endless horizon and a dead calm. The couple, seeking solace from a recent auto accident that left Rae recovering both physically and emotionally, finds their tranquil solitude abruptly shattered. The arrival of Hughie, the lone survivor of a doomed black schooner they chance upon, brings a chilling interruption to their aquatic isolation. Hughie's harrowing tale of survival rings false to the seasoned sailor John, prompting him to board the sinking schooner in search of the truth. As John uncovers a reality far darker than Hughie's recounted ordeal, the cunning castaway seizes the opportunity to commandeer the Ingram yacht, leaving Rae as his unwilling captive, and John stranded on the doomed ship. The tranquil sea becomes a battleground as Rae, grappling with terrifying odds, must reclaim control of their vessel. Simultaneously, John is in a race against time to unlock the mystery of the black schooner before it disappears into the ocean's abyss. In an environment where the stillness of the sea is as deadly as the secrets it harbors, the couple must navigate their survival, testing their resilience against the deceptive calm and the deceptive stranger who threatens to shatter their world.
